Effect of Side Surface Orientation on the Mechanical Properties of Silicon Nanowires: A Molecular Dynamics Study

We investigated the mechanical properties of <100>-oriented square cross-sectional silicon nanowires under tension and compression, with a focus on the effect of side surface orientation. Two types of silicon nanowires (i.e., nanowires with four {100} side surfaces and those with four...
